What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help websites recognize you when you return. At crisalivoneth, we use various tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and local storage to improve your experience on our platform.

These technologies serve different purposes – some are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly, while others help us understand how you interact with our content so we can make improvements. We believe in transparency about what data we collect and why we need it.

Types of Cookies We Use

How We Use Tracking Information

The data we collect through cookies helps us create a more personalized educational experience. For instance, if you frequently access our business scaling modules, we might suggest advanced financial planning resources that complement your learning path.

We also use this information to improve our platform's performance. By understanding which pages load slowly or where users encounter problems, we can make technical improvements that benefit everyone. Your browsing patterns help us identify the most valuable content for Canadian entrepreneurs and business owners.

Analytics data shows us trends in how our educational content is consumed, allowing us to develop new courses and resources that address real learning needs in the business community. However, this analysis is always done in aggregate – we're looking at patterns across all users, not individual behavior.

Data Retention and Your Control

Different types of cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies can remain on your device for months or until you manually delete them. Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session, while preference cookies might be stored for up to a year to remember your settings.

You have complete control over non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies entirely. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might affect some website functionality, particularly features that remember your preferences or keep you logged in.

Managing Your Browser Settings

Every major browser provides cookie management tools. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, you can access these settings through the privacy or security sections of your browser preferences. You can choose to block third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies from sites you visit directly.

For mobile browsers, cookie settings are usually found in the main settings menu under privacy or advanced options. Some browsers also offer "incognito" or "private browsing" modes that automatically delete cookies when you close the session.

If you use multiple devices to access crisalivoneth, you'll need to adjust cookie settings on each device separately. Your preferences don't automatically sync across different browsers or devices unless you've specifically enabled that feature.
